THE BUTLEIGH REVEL – 1906
The
Revel (Pageant) was reported in many of the national newspapers and
over 8,000 people attended the event over the four days it was
performed (including the dress rehearsal). Around 300 players took
part, mostly from the village of Butleigh itself, and below,
over 200 of them have been listed by name, and pictured where
certainly identified.
Since I first put this site online further pictures and albums have
surfaced in which individual actors are named. The principal source
has been the album of the Revel Director Daniel Mildred which his
great-nephew Peter Awdry generously allowed me to copy along with
images from his other albums. I have now re-written the book below
and all known images are contained therein. Some files are very large
and will take a while to download [I had intended to shrink them but
decided against it]. The copyright to all images belongs to the
owners and acknowledgements are made to them in the introduction.
The cast list
below is a duplicate of that in the book but with some links to
portrait images
Daniel Mildred's camera and
presentation cup
If you have any
Revel pictures with identified individuals not included here, please
contact me via :
Here
is a list of the cast compiled from several sources and below it the
table of actors in alphabetical order. Where an image is
identified of a group or
individual [shown in blue
underlined]
then by clicking on it the image will be downloaded.
